108 Mile Spinach Bacon Salad

Submitted by Bergy

"This is a great salad from an excellent restaurant (or it was the last time I was there). This salad makes an excellent lunch. Add a crusty roll for a light summer supper. The dressing is excellent. I posted the cook time as 0 but of course you have to cook the eggs and the bacon; drain the fat and allow time for both to cool. The 4 servings are main course servings. If using this as a side salad it will serve 8-10."

What is there not to love? Fresh spinach, fresh hard-boiled eggs, fresh bacon from the farm down the road, beautiful white mushrooms, and the dressing! Oh! The dressing. How easy and how big, and full of taste this is. It is a 108 miles high - with goodness. I followed this exactly - except added some fresh parsley from the garden into the dressing. Thanks, Bergy! LOVED IT!!
